Romantic Scousers believe their relationships will last forever and wouldn’t have an affair, they think they’re good in bed and have sent naughty texts.

More than 500 Liverpool lovers answered our two anonymous questionnaires to help us lift the lid on love and lust in Merseyside for Valentine’s Day.

We wanted to find out if you were all hopeless romantics – and we also asked a few questions about what you get up to between the sheets.

Although nine out of ten told us they believe in love and 73% said they were currently in love, they were more divided on whether they believe in love at first sight, with 46% saying yes, but 53% disagreeing.

And 88% said they considered personality to be more important than looks when it comes to matters of the heart.

74% told us they are currently in a relationship, with most meeting through friends (26%) or at a pub or club (26%). And 22% said they have met their current partner at work.

Of those in a relationship, 86% said they thought their love would last forever, and almost six out of ten said they go on regular date nights.

Although 38% said they seldom argue, nearly three out of ten admitted to rowing every week. And 7% have a rockier relationship, admitting to rowing every day of the week.

And it seems love comes easy for some lucky Scousers, with 64% saying they don’t have to work hard at their relationship.

Despite the growing popularity of apps like Tinder and Happn, just two people confessed to having met their partner this way.

And while Liverpool is a city that loves its football, your preferred side of Stanley Park isn’t an obstacle to love – eight out of ten said they’d be happy to go out with someone who supports a rival team. Although 89% said they still believe in marriage, almost the same number said they wouldn’t marry for money.

And touchingly, 59% said they tell their partner they love them several times a day, with 18% saying the magic words once a day.

Affairs? No thanks

More than seven out of ten told us they have never had an affair, with 73% saying they could never forgive a partner who played away.

And almost eight out of ten wouldn’t have an affair even if they could guarantee they wouldn’t get caught.

Sexting, kissing and sexual contact were the three top picks when we asked what constitutes cheating, but just three out of ten were bothered by flirting.

Almost three quarters said they thought they were good in bed. Just under half of the people who answered said they considered themselves to be quite adventurous in the bedroom, while 63% told us they’ve tried sexting.

But it seems Liverpool lovers like to keep their adventurous side for their partner’s eyes only – 87% said they wouldn’t consider an open relationship and 92% told us they have never paid for sex.

Of those who said they’d had a one-night stand, 22% said they’d regretted it. 10% told us they have had one sexual partner, while at the other end of the scale, 13 people claimed they’ve had over 100 partners.

And 31% said they have sex two to three times a week.

Men vs women

Of the females who answered our survey, 92% said they believed personality was more important than looks when it comes to love.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, looks were slightly more important to men – but not by much – with 82% opting for personality when asked the same question.

Interestingly, fewer women than men said they had been in love, with 87% compared to 92% of males.

43% of women said they had spied on their partner’s text messages compared to 39% of men. You tell us your dating disasters

"Went on a first date with a boy to the cinema, told him to pick the film. Ended up in the most depressing film of all time, about a woman who had cancer. An to make things worse I hear sobbing, I turn next to me and the boy was crying his eyes out coz his mum was unwell! He left and went home."

"I met a bloke from a dating site. he turned up drunk. After one drink I made my excuses and left. the next day he sent me 55 texts complaining he would never be able to smell my perfume without thinking of me and begging me to see him again."

"Arranged to meet a girl but was turned away from the restaurant because me and the lads had been barred the previous weekend. I stood in dog poo on the way back to the car only noticed at the girl’s house. I proceeded to wipe my foot in snow in her front garden when her mum opened the front door. Was never a great first impression. Amazingly she gave me another date."

"Once went on a date to the cinema with a bloke who didn’t know the difference between salty and sweet popcorn. He had to get the girl to give him a taster of each before deciding which one. Weirdo. Didn’t see him again."

"Met a guy on OK Cupid...we dated for a bit, then he became insane and dumped me while backpacking through Europe...with 5 more days of the trip!"

"When my date turned up she had just been to the dentist and was a dribbling mess!"
